New Teachers – Essential stuff on EFL 2.0

I just finished a whirlwind 6 day week of workshops on technology and language teaching – given to mostly new teachers. I had a wonderful time and the energy of the teachers always renews me, no matter how tiring the 6 hour sessions a day truly are.

It got me thinking that I need to do a better job here – creating a directory of essential “go to” resources for new teachers. Would also benefit other teachers, new to the site. This page, on my old training site does this and I highly recommend it. However, it could disappear soon so I’ll list here what I think is great for new teachers/members on EFL Classroom 2.0 . (I’ll be building this so keep returning or bookmark! Most can be found through our very comprehensive site directory)
